I like Josephina, OH likes Stephanie (as per my previous thread.) I have a friend called Josefina, goes by Fina, which I like. She is Belgian, and OH is convinced that, like it or not, in the UK, Jo is inevitable. What do you reckon?

I have a friend called Joanne, known as Jo to everyone. But I lengthen it to Josephina Grin I just can't seem to call her Jo!

She's the only Jo I do that to though Grin

Posy is short for Josephine.

Josette is another nn for Josephine, if you didn't want Jo or Josie.
